Flavia Vischi Winck  (IQ/São Paulo)

Microalgae, carbon accumulation, biosynthesis of lipids, proteomics, molecular physiology, systems biology, biological networks, transcriptional regulation.

Our research topic is related to the study of complex gene expression regulatory networks in eukaryotes using different approaches that allows us to investigate specially the molecular physiology of microalgae through the global identification of proteins, transcripts and metabolites in a systems biology framework. We are interested in understanding how cellular processes such as carbon accumulation, photosynthesis, lipid biosynthesis and biomass production are regulated. We envisage to perform the identification of important regulatory mechanisms that may lead us to the development of microalgae strains with phenotypical characteristics of interest for biotechnological applications, such as production of biofuels and biochemicals.
